The Office for Exceptional and the Ohio PBIS Network are making available to districts, community schools and ESCs an opportunity to receive PBIS Tier I, Train-the-Trainer instruction. This train-the-trainer opportunity is intended for an individual or small team intending to provide PBIS training for their district or their region. Participants should have already participated in PBIS training from their State Support Team (SST) and implemented Tier I PBIS in at least one building. The train-the-trainer opportunity will be provided this spring by Tom Stacho. This opportunity is particularly appropriate for larger districts wishing to take more responsibility for their own PBIS training.

Body Image is the way individuals think and feel about their own body, as well as how they perceive others to think and feel about their appearance. Heavily influenced by family, friends and media, one’s body image can be positive or negative.

However, the recent budget bill authorized two additional options only for students in the class of 2018 who entered grade 9 between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015. These options provide an opportunity for those students who do not otherwise meet one of the three existing pathways to graduation to earn a diploma.

In addition to parental supervision and extra caution when allowing your tween/teen to gather with friends, experts say we can help our children curb those impulsive tendencies by encouraging greater self-control.

While social media, apps and messaging provide a fun and highly accessible path to connect and share with friends, such outlets also allow youth to connect with those they should not be connecting with and share things they should not be sharing. We’re talking SEXTING - defined as sending sexually explicit messages, photos or videos via cell phone or other electronic devices.

Those types of stranger danger safety conversations, though critical for little ones, tend to decrease as our kids get older. Child safety experts say however, that those age-appropriate type safety talks are critical for older children as well and need to continue into and throughout their teenage years.
]]>Wed, 31 May 2017 04:00:00 GMT87e865df-4ba1-4c6a-9e9b-8892d5fffecbStep Up To Quality (SUTQ) is Ohio's quality rating system for child care programs. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) use a comprehensive, one- to five-star rating system to assess ODJFS- and ODE-licensed early childhood programs that choose to exceed minimum health and safety standards. Starting in 2020, all child care programs that receive state funding will be required to participate in Step Up To Quality. Ratings are posted online, and parents can use them to choose the program that is best for their child.

Highly rated programs require continuing education for teachers and staff, use child assessments to guide learning and development, and take additonal steps to help prepare children for kindergarten. In return, they receive additional funding and free marketing materials to help spread the news about their SUTQ rating and attract new customers.

This guide is designed for child care providers working to achieve star ratings. This includes:

Child care programs registering for SUTQ for the first time

Child care programs that already have at least one SUTQ star
